Abstract
THE new edition of Prof. Bailey's text-book of plant-breeding contains a good deal of fresh matter. The work first appeared in the time when no order had been perceived in the phenomena of variation or heredity, and chapters by Dr. Gilbert are introduced dealing with the recent discoveries. These sections of the book are well done so far as they go, but though various parts have been rewritten, signs of irregular growth remain, as is, indeed, in such cases unavoidable.
Plant-breeding.
